PA People: Jack Troy
WPSU’s Patty Satalia travels to rural Huntingdon County to meet with writer, teacher and legendary potter, Jack Troy, who retired from Juniata College in 2006. Troy is wrapping up a three-day firing in the anagama kiln he and fellow potters built and operate at his home-studio.

Very well done by all involved! Fascinating stuff! I own several pieces of Jack’s work and two done by his students. I use them every day. They have a way of growing on you as time goes by.
Jack risked himself to rid me of a beautiful hornet’s nest in our yard, getting stung twice. I had called him to tell him that it reminded me of his work. He put it in a tree in a wooded area as he has another at home. The hornets continued life as usual.
